Alexandra Bracken
But there's a beginning in an end, you know? It's true that you can't reclaim what you had, but you can lock it up behind you. Start fresh.
Alexandra Bracken
Owain crossed his arms over his chest. I've gone straight. Only good, clean jobs for me now. So, in other words, North said, you're living in poverty?
Alexandra Bracken
He doesn't bring many girls round unless they're part of a job - but also 'cause his smell can sometimes kill kittens.
Alexandra Bracken
But part of surviving is being able to move on.
Alexandra Bracken
Maybe we had just gotten too used to being alone-- and maybe that needed to change.
Alexandra Bracken
Breathing him in wasn't enough, I wanted to inhale him. The leather, the smoke, the sweetness.
Alexandra Bracken
